Whangainga te kahui a te Atua
roto i a koutou; kaua e ngākaukore
ina tirotiro, engari kia hihiko; kaua
mo te taonga he, engari i runga i te
ngākau nui.
Care for the flock that God
has entrusted to you.
Watch over them willingly, because
you are eager to serve God.
Lead them by your own good example.
